Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, but can his son become the Prince of Entertainment Journalism? The eldest child of the music superstar, 16 year old Prince Michael Jackson, has signed on for a gig as an on-air correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. The youngster’s first story is an interview with the male stars of the coming movie “Oz the Great and Powerful.” (Interesting sidebar: Michael Jackson starred in “The Wiz.”) The presence of Prince –who has two siblings, Paris and Blanket– is an interesting turn of events. The children of the pop star were shielded for many years from the public eye. In his new gig as a showbiz reporter, how far will the child that once hid from the paparazzi go for a story?
